Walmart is holding its first holiday deals event of the season next month. Last year it was called “Walmart Deals – Holiday Kickoff” and ran Monday, October 9 through Thursday, October 12, 2023. This year it’s called “Walmart Holiday Deals” and runs Tuesday, October 8 through Sunday, October 13, 2024.
Walmart’s 6-day sale kicks off the same day as Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, which will run October 8 – 9, 2024.
Walmart is giving early access to Walmart+ members through the website and mobile app at 12 am ET on October 8th, while everyone else can shop the deals online beginning at noon. The sale will kick off at retail stores on October 9th.
“With six days to shop deep savings on popular gifts from new and Walmart-exclusive top brands, Walmart customers have an extended opportunity to take advantage of some of the season’s best deals,” Walmart said. It promised deep savings across electronics, home, fashion, toys and more, from both owned and Walmart Marketplace assortments.
It made a point of calling attention to its newly expanded Marketplace assortment of premium beauty, collectibles and coveted sneakers from StockX, available on Walmart.com. And it said this year it is using new AI technology to expand its delivery scope to reach an additional 12 million households.
Walmart is again offering its “inflation-free holiday meal” from October 14 – December 25th – and, new this year, customers can gift the complete holiday meal for pickup or delivery to neighbors, friends and family anywhere in the country.
Walmart also teased upcoming “can’t-miss” Black Friday and Cyber Monday events in its announcement on the Walmart website.
